Nats struggle early… Good. Much rather have them test some internal fortitude early rather than coast with big expectations and freak out at the end of the season. Apples to oranges, but we’ve seen how that’s worked with the President’s Trophy Caps. Deflating the egos a bit and dealing with some adversity in April isn’t the end of the world.

Interesting to see the St. Louis fan’s take on the Nats fans. He’s not totally off target, but he kind of guilds the new fan lily with “7 fans rushed to get Pujols’ autograph while on-deck”. C’mon. I’ve never seen that.
